US, but it was not underground to contain the effects.

The Buster-Jangle Uncle shot was a 1.2KTon shot at 17 feet underground. The purpose was to study cratering effects. Data from this shot was then scaled up to predict the effects of the MK-8 and MK-11 ground penetrator atomic bombs, which had a yield of 15 to 20 KTons.
